It was an awesome time... and well worth it to not have Jim drift off into the
shadows. While the response was indeed amazing and it demonstrates the kind of
people we have in this group, I'd like to point out another comment that was
made back then, which was something to the effect of... it was for Jim Markle.
I remember thinking about that and wondering how many others would be able
to garner that kind of support.
I remember when I first came on the boards (ok, fine... the mailing list)... several
people asked where I was from... of course I said the Tulsa area and I promptly
got asked if I had met Jim Markle... it was made clear that I NEED to
meet The Markle. Something to the effect that I really wasn't having the Pietenpol
experience until I did. Well honestly, with everyone insisting that I go
see this guy I started to become a little wary of the idea. After all, it doesn't
take long to get a sense of some of the dark humor on the list, I was sure
that I was being set up for an unpleasant experience or something other than
a seemingly harmless visit (there are lots of banjos and such over in Mayes
county) Ha! I finally did meet Jim that year at Brodhead, at the grand 80th
Anniversary of our fabulous little airplane, and I was pleased to see that he
was a somewhat normal fellow (hey, I said somewhat). Even though Jim burns me
often with his quick wit, I look forward to every visit. A great guy and a
very nice (and obviously very patient) family.
Jim has been and continues to be an excellent ambassador to our hobby... definitely
one of a kind. I'm proud to call him my friend.

I am soooo happy for you!!!!!! This is truly a milestone in your quest for
a flying plane. Now you will have the fun part of putting it together for
the last time. As was with us=2C it looks like a plane assembled at home
but you know it really means business when you see it surrounded by a hange
r at an airport. At the rate you are going you will have the inspection an
d will be flying this summer. Both you and Mike need to fly off the 40 so
you can park the two green machines together at frazier Lake next June for
the west coast Piet meet.

Subject: | Straight Axle Stops |
I have a question on preventing the axle from rotating on a straight
axle gear with brakes .
I have decided to add mechanical disc brakes and intend to use a short
length of cable from the landing gear strut to the brake caliper to stop
the axle from rotating. My EAA Tech Counselor says this is not
advisable as the cable is not in line with the caliper and will place an
excessive side load on the brake rotor. However, I have seen this
arrangement on other Piets at Brodhead.
Any advice from people with this arrangement? Is the side load a
problem?
I only plan to use the brakes for taxiing. I have a steerable
tailwheel, but thought I need the brakes to make sure I don't run into
anything on the ground, so shouldn't be a lot of force generated.
I'm planning to stop at Brodhead on Saturday morning on the way to OSH,
so look forward to meeting and greeting.

Hey Larry;
A short rod welded to the axle going down through the bottom landing gear block
seems to be the most common and, really, the simplest way to stop the
axle rotation.
I think the cable in the picture is actually excess brake cable, the end opposite
the caliper arm does not actually touch the landing gear leg- if that end were
attached to the gear leg- the caliper arm would not be able to move.
look forward to meeting you at Brodhead

Subject: | broken 3/32 flying wire |
Hey all,
One thing I've forgotten to share about 799B's incident, and which might
prove interesting to some is this.
When she went off the runway and hit the drainage ditch, the speed was
probably 20-25mph at the most, and the wing tank only had ten gallons in it
but the wing displaced forward an inch or two because my diagonal braces
were totally incapable of handling any stress in compression (that has been
fixed!)
However, I wanted to mention that the anti drag flying wire on one side
actually was snapped and the other shows clear signs of overstress. The
cable itself snapped, not the swage fitting attachment. The cables were the
3/32 as called for in the plans, and were good condition galvanized cables.
Take from this what you like, but it seems to me that this cable shouldn't
have broken from a relatively mild deceleration.
I know 3/32 has proved totally adequate for normal flying, I just wonder
though if it might be a bit light for a situation like this which can easily
lead to ruptured fuel lines in a wing tank.
I'm replacing them with 1/8th and taking the few ounce weight penalty
incurred.
Douwe
Progress report: making seat cushions. Bought some memory foam pillows from
Amazon for $17 bucks and they seem like the perfect starting point for a
nice comfy seat.
Gap seals on tail done. Ended up doing two corner moldings from balsa and
leaving a 1/8th gap, then doping a fabric "bridge" across them. Overkill,
but looks nice and should work well.

Well, the setup you're mentioning really stops the caliper bracket from rotating,
not the axle, right?
If so, that's the setup mine has, and it works just fine. I don't see any noticable
side force and havn't had the axle move back and forth at all.
My cables hook to the gear plates on the outside, keeping it as inline as possible.
Looks like it runs to the inside, if it's the cable and not a brake line,
in the pic.

Hi Piet folks!
for those I haven't met - which is most - I'm Jonathan Apfelbaum. I'm very
slowly building a Piet. But, I love going to Brodhead every year (in the

I'm an avid, although amatuer, photographer. Last year I shot some pic's o
f Dan Helpser's piet, so he can vouch either way regarding skill.
Doc contacted me a few month's back and asked if I would be up for shooting
some pics - esp air-to-air - of Piet's this year. I, of course, would lov
e too. However, I obviously need photo targets :)
My plan was to pull the doors off the Glastar (it makes a good photo platfo
rm), and try and shoot as many Piets as I can. Best times being sunrise an
d sunset.
I'm glad to provide the images to folks of their planes if they would like.
I hope to make it there friday (and have to be in Madison sat evening - so
that gives me fri PM and sat AM). If I can get there sooner, I will.
Anyway - if anyone is interested - let me know, either by email, or by sayi
ng Hi at Brodhead.
See y'all there
Cheers
jon

If you only had wires on one side of the center struts the wing probably rotated
too adding an unsymmetrical load also to the wires. In which the wing did not
move simply straight forward. This would then put an even higher load on the
wire along with the initial shock load.
I used 1/8" wire all around.

OMG! Uh, I mean, sorry to hear that... really.
Sounds like Gary is on to what a good old boy here in Georgia told me works the
best to get the skunk smell of his traps when he gets one...
and that is... (wait for it...)
About a month.
Flying it around has gotta work as good as anything, providing it's not too bad
to actually fly! Seems to me skunk smell doesn't seem to last on cars too long
when you run them over.

Subject: | Re: Mom's Piet Flight |
I just have to share this. My mom is no longer with us but many years ago when
she was in her 70's and I was still living in Montana and flying an old wooden
wing Mooney for my business travel, I took my mom on a trip from Billings Montana
to Casper Wyoming.
My mom had a high school girl friend who had married a self made oil man who had
done well and built up his own drilling company. I agreed to take my mom for
a weekend visit in the Mooney. They had my call number and when I landed at
Casper the tower cleared me to the taxi way and directed me to follow a red truck
parked at the entrance to the runway. I was led to a large hanger where
the doors automatically opened up and I was waved inside. When I shut down my
20+ year old Mooney I was parked next to 2 new Bell helicopters and an 8 passenger
Lear Jet all sparkling and painted in the company colors. My mom, who had
spent most of her adult life on a small Montana cattle ranch was thrilled to
say the least.
We then were driven to the family home where we almost needed a security guard
escort to get in. My mom and I talked on the way home that living a more frugal
lifestyle has its trials but a lot more peace of mind.

Subject: Pietenpol-List: Straight Axle Stops
I have a question on preventing the axle from rotating on a straight axle
gear with brakes .
I have decided to add mechanical disc brakes and intend to use a short
length of cable from the landing gear strut to the brake caliper to stop the
axle from rotating. My EAA Tech Counselor says this is not advisable as the
cable is not in line with the caliper and will place an excessive side load
on the brake rotor. However, I have seen this arrangement on other Piets at
Brodhead.
Any advice from people with this arrangement? Is the side load a problem?
I only plan to use the brakes for taxiing. I have a steerable tailwheel,
but thought I need the brakes to make sure I don't run into anything on the
ground, so shouldn't be a lot of force generated.
I'm planning to stop at Brodhead on Saturday morning on the way to OSH, so
look forward to meeting and greeting.
